DW - a historical designation that indicates a digital watch with high water resistance, but without any solar recharging/atomic sync functionality (e.g. DW-5600C).
GW - the watch is usually equipped with atomic sync functionality called "Waveceptor" (and always includes solar recharging). Only exception noted is the GW-2xx Frogman series which is solar but without Waveceptor.
G - this single letter is commonly used to imply just "basic G-Shock" (e.g. G-7900, G-8900), but it is sometimes used to indicate solar recharging without "Waveceptor" atomic sync (e.g. G-6900 vs. GW-6900, G-5600 vs. GW-5600, G-2310 vs. GW-2310).

[the rest]
AW - Analog water resist.
AWG - Analog Waveceptor.
GA - large format G-Shock with analog display and sometimes digital as well.
GAC - large format G-Shock chronograph with analog display and multiple sub dials.
GD - large format G-Shock with all digital display.
GD-X - new larger format, the first of which has enlarged the 6900.
GDF - twin sensor G-Shock, featuring altimeter, barometer, and thermometer. "F" may mean "field", implying outdoor use.
GL - means the "G-Lide" series, targeted to surfers and snowboarders. Most incarnations have moon phase and tide graph.
GLS - a version of G-lide with special cosmetic variations (leather bands, special dial treatment, etc).
GLX - an expansion to the G-Lide series.
GRX - "Ride Extreme" series (solar recharging equipped).
GS - the GIEZ series, which is like an analog metal MTG but with screwback case; "essence of G" (with Waveceptor).
GW-A - the all analog aviator series. This is the newer designation, as previous aviators appeared as GW-2500, GW-3000, GW-3500, and GW-4000. The GW-2500 and GW-3500 are analog-digital models. Most have Waveceptor.
GX - The first "extreme" sized models, like the GX-56 affectionately dubbed the "King" by CASIO enthusiasts.
GXW - The same as GX with atomic sync functionality included.
MTG - The "metal twisted" line, which involves the use of much metal around the casing and a metal bracelet.
MRG - The "Mr. G" top of the line models, usually with analog-digital displays and made of titanium. There was series of vintage models that were all digital.

These are G-Shock models that were designed for certain outdoor activities in mind, although they're certainly not limited to them. Some models are offered with or without solar/atomic functionality. Historically, CASIO came up with the "Master of G" product line title long after the "[name]-man" naming theme was already in use, starting in 1985 with the first Mudman (DW-5500C). It may have already been in use internally but the prominent marketing campaign for "Master of G" appeared sometime in the late 1990's. In 1993, the first Frogman appeared, which was later followed by the Fisherman (which became the Gulfman) and Riseman. Six "Master of G" models have since been retired. There was a nearly 13 year gap before a new Master of G model appeared, with the Rangeman announced for 2013.

Model Numbering [prefix: DW, G, GW]
Gulfman: 9700, 9100, 9125, 9110
Mudman: 8400, 9000, 9010, 9025, 9300, 9330
Riseman: 9100, 9200, 9230
Frogman: 6300, 8200, 8230, 8250, 9900, 200, 225, 1000, T1000, T1030

[active]
Gulfman - equipped with a titanium back plate for frequent water exposure; most come with moon phase and tide graph.
Mudman - outfitted with a single piece bezel that covers the buttons, for maximum mud resistance. Later model comes equipped with thermometer, moon phase, and compass.
Riseman - equipped with altimeter, barometer, and thermometer, to support elevated "rising" activities.
Rangeman - latest Master of G model that comes fully equipped with altimeter, barometer, thermometer and compass.
Frogman - designed for SCUBA diving activities, despite the lack of a depth indicator, with either stainless steel or all titanium case.

[retired]
Antman - the first atomic sync G-Shock.
Fisherman - first model to provide moon phase, tide graph, sunrise/sunset, and moonrise/moonset data.
Gaussman - first to provide significant magnetic resistance.
Lungman - first to provide pulse sensing, along with temperature.
Raysman - first model with solar recharging, also equipped with yacht timing functionality.
Wademan - first model with electronic compass.

Some models come equipped with sensors for collecting thermal, barometric, and directional data. For a long while, all that was offered was the Riseman with altimeter and barometer. Eventually, thermal data was added to the Riseman. The "GDF" later appeared, probably as a cheaper alternative to the "Master of G" Riseman, with the same altimeter, barometer and thermometer functions. Next a Mudman was released, equipped with a thermometer and compass, in addition to moon phase (but no alti/baro). Finally, the Rangeman was made that puts the bulk of ABC functionality into one watch (altimeter, barometer, thermometer, and compass).

GDF - "F" for "field" or "function" [altimeter, barometer, thermometer]
G(W)-9200 Riseman [altimeter, barometer, thermometer]
G(W)-9300 Mudman [thermometer, compass]
GW-9400 Rangeman [altimeter, barometer, thermometer, compass]
GA-1000 Aviator analog [thermometer, compass]

These models all feature analog hands for hours/minutes/seconds, and mostly analog indicators for other information. Some models also feature digital displays for data such as day/date and timers. Some earlier models have a smaller form factor but the later models are quite large and bold looking. A few special editions have been created, like an RAF collaboration. The top of the line model comes with an anti-reflective coated sapphire crystal. All models feature a stop watch. Some models come equipped with countdown timer, usually limited to 1 or 2 hours. The "GW" series includes the Waveceptor feature while the "GA" does not, yet the "GA" offers additional functionality like compass and thermometer.

These are certain models that were recognized to have a rather strong embracing by members of military, police, and fire fighting organizations around the world. Despite some fashion concepts suggesting a military theme, the real practicality comes down to the watch. Most G-Shock watches did not start out with CASIO seeking for them to be identified with such use, which speaks strongly about the inherent quality and reliability CASIO puts into their watches. The more prominent ones that have been frequently acknowledged as being worn extensively by military, police, and fire fighting personnel are: DW-003, DW-6600, DW-6900, and DW-9000. The Mudman series is also known to be favored by the military (e.g. DW-8400 and G-9000).

With the fairly recent trend of watch size growth, it was only natural for CASIO to capitalize on it along with the crowd, but in their own way. CASIO has made the largest sized production LCD digital watches ever (thus far). The GX-56/GWX-56 "King", GD-100/150, and GA-100/150 made their respective appearances in 2010, followed by the GA-110 in 2011, GWX-8900 and GAC-100 in 2012 and GD-X6900 in 2013. The GD-350 released in 2013 brought back the vibration feature that had been lost with the retiring of the G-7510. Of course, there are other watches considered large in the CASIO line-up like the later model Frogman and Mudman, as well as the new Rangeman.

"Vintage" is a subjective word here, but basically any model that is discontinued for about 10 years or more begins to fall into this category. The G-Shock archive is enormous. CASIO experimented with many different casing designs and combinations of resin and metal materials. Many models were produced for a short time and were then discontinued. You can spend countless hours sifting through all of the models CASIO has made and marvel at all of the variations. But the best way to get acquainted with them is to read reviews on the forums, to find which ones have been more popular. Of course, the original DW-5000C and DW-5600C are two of the most iconic vintage G-Shocks around, with the DW-5600 model line the longest running to date. There are also some significantly rare versions that are highly collectible today (like the DW-5500C and WW-5100C Wide Temp). There is also the distinction of older models that come equipped with all stainless steel cases with screwbacks that are now only found in special editions, GIEZ, MR-G and Frogman lines, like the GL-110 and G-2000.

These are upscale analog and ana-digi models incorporating more refined materials than those in basic G-Shocks. GIEZ is an acronym for "G-Ess" as in essence of G-Shock. These are ana-digi or all analog watches with stainless steel screwback case (only a few earlier models were all digital). The MT-G, "metal twisted", intertwines a mixture of metal and resin parts in an all analog or ana-digi watch format with hardened resin case (somewhat like a non-stainless steel case GIEZ). And the MR-G is the epitome of G-Shock quality, the "top of the line" with finest materials such as titanium and sapphire crystal. Early MR-G watches were all digital, then ana-digi, but CASIO later abandoned this in favor for all analog.

These are models that deviate rather significantly from the well known conservative designs that G-Shocks are known for. While still incorporating shock absorption and water resistant properties, they are geared more for flair and fashion than for utility and ruggedness. Some entire lines were made for fashion/style, while other existing lines gained a few sub-models for this (like the 6900, having mirrored dials and wild/wacky colors never to be seen in field use). There have also been some rather eye-popping aftermarket "bling" bezels and bands (jewel encrusted) made for various models to re-dress them as a "fashion" statement.
6900xx -- While known as the military and police G-Shock, dozens upon dozens of fashion collaboration models have been created in this line.
5600xx -- This model line is the second most popular for G-Shock design/fashion collaborations. Non-solar seems to be the most prevalent, due to the lack of a solar panel from interfering with the intended look.
G-7800 -- A fashion inspired G-Shock with hard corner squared design and prominent all metal top bezel surrounding the crystal (unlike most models having all resin surrounds).
G-8100 -- A funky kind of "circle in square" cased G-Shock with architecture inspired buttons and casing treatments.
G-Cool -- A number of street-style inspired models, including a few collaborations where one included Pininfarina.
GA-1xx -- Analog/digital bold design that lead to an eye-popping range of loud colors and combinations (see photo above).
Theme -- A certain design aesthetic carried over several select models, like "Men in Mat Black", "Men in Smoky Gray", "Men In Military Colors", " "Black Gold", "Garish Blue", "Garish Black", "Initial Blue", etc.

Anniversary:
In 1993, CASIO released a 10th anniversary limited edition of the DW-5000C, designated the DW-1983. This set in motion a policy of CASIO releasing anniversary models periodically. There was no 15th anniversary, but following this has been a 20th, 25th, and 30th. By the 30th, CASIO has been producing a number of different commemorative anniversary models based on original designs but with upgraded cosmetics. The 30th anniversary line-up brought not only the DW-5030C [DW-5000C] but also the GW-5530 [DW-5500C], GW-M5630 [GW-5600], GF-8230 [GF-8200], and DW-6930 [DW-6900], as well as an exclusive limited edition GW-T5030C (only 200 pieces worldwide).wus
